Risk Assessment
A risk assessment is nothing more than a careful examination of what, in your work, could cause harm to people, so that you can weigh up whether you have taken enough precautions or should do more to prevent harm. The aim is to make sure that no one gets hurt or becomes ill. Accidents and ill health can ruin lives, and affect your business too if output is lost, machinery is damaged, insurance costs increase, or you have to go to court. You are legally required to assess the risks in your workplace.
This course will enable delegates to complete Risk Assessments in the workplace to a basic standard.
Who should attend?
Any person who may be involved in carrying out risk assessments within the business.
